Brewers vs Nationals Series

We had a fun weekend with the Brewers in town.  Daddy, mommy, and Nickolas went to the Friday night game.  Mommy and Nickolas went for the Sunday afternoon game.  We saw the Brewers win both times while they lost the two we did not attend.  After the baseball game, we went to the D.C. United soccer game to complete Nickolas's Super Sports Weekend.

Nickolas was a little scared of the Abraham Lincoln, so he kept his distance.

Cheering on the racing Presidents after their race.  Nickolas was excited was excited that the Nats mascot, Screech, is friends with the Capitals mascot, Slapshot, since they're both eagles.

Probably not safe scoping out all of the wires outside of the broadcast truck.

Sporting Clays

Dan was extremely generous to be flexible to allow for mommy to go sport clay shooting with Sue and the amazing Dave Butz.  I actually hit a few, it was a ton of fun!

First Day of Preschool for Lucy and Flora

Tuesday was Flora and Lucy's first day of preschool.  Flora is in the 1s class with Miss Jeanine two days a week, which Lucy had two years ago.  Flora knew the routine walking in and out of school, so she walked right into her class.  She did cry, however, when she realized I wasn't following her in.  I think she had fun, though.  Lucy is in the 3s class three days a week.  She happens to be in the same classroom Nickolas had that year.  Lucy has a few good friends in her class, so it should be a good and fun year.

Lucy's First Ballet Class

Lucy was so excited for her first ballet class.  She did a great job at a class, which ended up bring a private lesson on the first day.  She took instruction very well and when she was finished she was so warm and thirsty from working so hard with her teacher.  It brought back all sorts of memories for mommy at that age.

Karla's Wedding - Back to the Beach!

Karla's wedding was beautiful and perfect.  Lucy thought Karla was a Princess Mermaid being on the beach.  And, when dolphins swam by shortly after the wedding ceremony, it was simply magical for a 3 year old.  Mommy had the privilege of playing with a fancy camera for the wedding and took lots of pictures outside of the ones from her basic camera.  Looking forward to seeing those!

One final jaunt to the beach for the summer.
